uNrrED STATES MEu o imeE- JOHN E. DOMAGALL, 0F PERU, ILLINOIS, ASSIG-NOR T0 W. H. MAZE. COMPANY, o! v PERU, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS I u DEVICE FOR SETTING GLAZIERS POINTS Application filed July 25,

This invention relates to a device for setting glaziers points.

The main objects of this invention are to provide and improve devices for facilitating the setting or driving in place of glaziers points; to provide a device of this nature which will save time and labor in work of this character; and to provide a device which may be easily and readily struck by a'driving tool Without liability of striking and bruising the finger of the workman.

An illustrative embodiment of this invention is shown in the accompanying drawings in which: 7

Fig. 1 is a view in proved device. I

Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 22 of Fig. 3.

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary plan view of my improved device in use on a window pane perspective of my imshowing the manner-in which it abuts the 'glaziers pointa 1 Heretofore in the settlng of glazlers points, it has been the usual procedure to place the point on the'pane of glass and hold it in position with the end of thefinger. Due to the smallness of even the largest size of glaziers point as compared tothe size of the usual workmans finger, it has been somewhat difficult to strike the point with a hammer or such tool without striking the finger holding the point. Furthermore, glaziers points are made of thin metal and if the tool used to strike the point does not have a square sharp corner at the edge of its striking face,

the striking tool will slip over the glaziers point instead of engaging it. By using my improved device, the workmans finger holds both the glaziers point and the setting tool,

. the square face of which abuts against one edge of the point. The setting tool extends well out from the finger holding it; and an upstanding shoulder on the outer end thereof,

provides a very good abutment which may 1928. scrim No. 295,339.

be struck by any convenient tool such as a upwardly then reversely bentat 5 to provide. a

an upstanding shoulder 6 which is adapted to be struck by a suitable driving tool such' as a hammer.

The portion forming the shoulder 6 is pr f:

erably bent downwardly at right angles to the plane of the strip 1,so that the outer face thereof is parallel to the face 2 at the opposite end of the device.

In the use of this device, the glaziers point 3 is placed against the pane of glass 7 and held in position by the workmansyfinger, the improved setting device is then placed on the pane and slipped into position with the face 2 thereof abutting against the outer edge of the glaziers point. A portion of the workmans finger which holds the glaziers point also bears on the strip 1 so as to hold 7 it in proper position.

The upstanding shoulder 6 is then struck by a suitable driving tool such asa-hammer and'the glaziers point set in the window sash 1 I 8 to the required depth.

Although but one specificembodiment of.

this invention has been herein shown and described, it will be understood that details of the construction shown may be altered or omitted without departing from the spirit of this invention as defined by the followingig claim.

I claim: A device of the class described comprising an elongated unitary strip of sheet steel, the

face of the edge at one end of said strip being:

at right angles to the plane of said strip, said face being adapted to abut against a glaziers point when placed in the same plane therewith, the other end of said strip being in- V 5 clined upwardly and then downwardly at right angles to the plane of-said strip to form a shoulder adapted to be struck by a driving tool. v a

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set 1 my hand at Peru, Illinois, this 21st day of July, 1928. V JOHN E. DOMAGALL.
